Flood Advisory issued August 11 at 8:53PM EDT until August 12 at 12:15AM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

* WHAT...
Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues.

* WHERE...
Southwestern Cabarrus County in the piedmont of North Carolina...

* WHEN...
Until 1215 AM EDT.

* IMPACTS...
Nuisance flooding of low-lying areas adjacent to streams and other oor-drainage areas, including farmland, parks, greenways, boat-access areas, golf courses, underpasses, and parking lots.
Isolated, shallow flows over roadways is possible. A few flood-prone, low-water crossings may become impassible. A small culvert washout or two is possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 831 PM EDT, Heavy rainfall has ended across Cabarrus County.
However, storm-total rainfall of 2-4" occurred within a 2- to 3-hour period over the southeastern portion of the county from Georgeville to Midland, resulting in flooding of small streams impacting adjacent low-lying areas including farmland, woodlands, and isolated residential yards and roadways. Further upstream within the Rocky River watershed near Harrisburg, storm-total rainfall of 0.75-1.5" occurred, which was not enough to cause flooding to occur, outside of an isolated poor-drainage area or two. However, the Flood Advisory will remain in effect through 930pm for the Rocky River watershed from Harrisburg to Midland then will be reduced in size to cover the area from Georgeville to Midland, to account for residual low-land flooding concerns from earlier flash flooding.
Please avoid flooded roadways and obey all barricades, even if flood waters have receded, in order to allow time for crews to assess road/bridge stability following damaging stream flows.
Additional heavy rainfall from strong thunderstorms is possible later tonight. Given saturated soils and swollen streams, any additional heavy rainfall may cause new areas of flooding to develop. Please stay weather aware and have multiple ways to receive warnings, including via television, cellular phone, and NOAA Weather Radio.
- Some locations that may continue to experience nuisance flooding include...Midland.
